\"Import started\" not appearing - what should I do?

Make sure you're tapping \"Open in Minecraft\" or \"Open with Minecraft\" when the download completes. If the file downloads but nothing happens, locate the file in your Downloads folder and tap it to open. On iOS, you may need to use the Files app. On Android, check your file manager. Make sure Minecraft is installed before attempting to import.

Mod not showing in Add-Ons section

First, make sure the import was successful (you should have seen \"Successfully imported\"). Go to Settings → Storage → Resource Packs/Behavior Packs to verify the mod is installed. If it's there but not in Add-Ons, try creating a new world and checking the Add-Ons section again. Some mods only appear after enabling Experiments.

Experiments not working or grayed out

Experiments can only be enabled when creating a NEW world. You cannot enable experiments on an existing world. Create a new world and immediately go to the Experiments section before adding any add-ons. Turn on \"Holiday Creator Features\" and other experimental toggles your mod requires.

What if my mod has multiple files?

Many mods come with both a Behavior Pack and a Resource Pack (or multiple files). You need to install EACH file separately by following the same steps. Import each file one by one, then when creating your world, make sure to activate ALL the packs in the Add-Ons section.

Can I install mods on console (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch)?

Unfortunately, mods cannot be directly installed on console versions of Minecraft Bedrock. Consoles have restrictions that prevent file imports. However, if you have a Minecraft Realm, you can set up mods from a PC/mobile device and then access the modded Realm from your console.

Why does my game crash after installing a mod?

Game crashes are usually caused by: 1) Incompatible Minecraft version - make sure the mod supports your version (1.21+), 2) Conflicting mods - try disabling other mods, 3) Corrupted download - delete the mod and re-download it, 4) Not enough device storage - free up space on your device.

Understanding Mod File Types

.mcpack - Behavior or Resource Pack

The most common mod file type. Can contain either a Behavior Pack (changes game mechanics, mobs, items) or a Resource Pack (changes textures, sounds, models). Check the filename to know which type you have.

.mcaddon - Complete Addon Bundle

A bundle containing both Behavior Pack and Resource Pack together. This is convenient because you only need to install one file instead of two. The addon automatically extracts both packs.

.mcworld - Complete World/Map

A complete Minecraft world/map that you can play. May include pre-installed mods, custom structures, adventure maps, or minigames. Appears directly in your worlds list.

Which guide should I follow?

Check the file extension after downloading. If the filename contains "resource" or "texture", follow the Resource Pack guide. If it says "behavior" or "BP", use the Behavior Pack guide. For .mcaddon files, use the Addon guide.
